How to Pray for Your Children

This is a sample of a 7 part series on how to pray for your children. “Contending in Prayer” was what the old saints of yesteryear said. Actually, we are not fighting God or people, and really maybe not the devil. Maybe we are perservering and so maybe our fight is with “flesh” or “lower nature.” Anyway, I used that old language of “contending” profitably. And many people were encouraged.

Today you can order the 7 part series, on CDs, by sending a check for for $70.00 (now until June 1 2018 half price! only $35!) to P.O. Box 971 Cedar Park, Texas 78630. Also, there is a turnkey study guide for you or for a group of parents on www.lulu.com, as well as a number of other books for you. OH!

Intractable Learning Problems? See Lindamood-Bell

Mrs. Jennifer Sangave, from Lindamood-Bell in Austin, gave us an inspiring interview. She says they have statistics and claim a high success rate, even when children who have not done well in other programs. An individualized plan is the key. Hear what she has to say.

Child Having Trouble Reading? Test this First!

Dr. Carol Zuccone, the Irlen representative explains this fairly common light sensitivity. Often there is a fairly easy remedy too. She tells us what mothers and teachers might look for. She says that it is educators that test for this, and so it gets overlooked by other professionals, but if this light sensitivity is not ruled out, then other tests are skewed.

Next week we will wrap up our series on what to do when the road to reading becomes rocky with an interview from Jennifer Sangave of Lindamood-Bell. It is absolutely amazing what they do. They help so many children who know one else could help.

After that I plan to post again the Dani Johnson episode on protecting our children from porn, since it was so enormously popular. Please plan to share your ideas, since social media protection has become so much more needed now than when she spoke with us.

When the Road to Reading Gets Rocky: Other Resources

In our series about what to do when your child is having trouble learning to read, today we talk about a variety of other resources for teaching spelling and getting help.

The next two weeks we will have interviews with good representatives to a couple of important providers.

Please feel free to share other resources that you have found that have helped your children/students.
